Today's the great Feast of the Assumption, which is typically ignored or hated by protestants because they think it idolatry. Here at the Compound we think it a singular devotion appropriate to the Mother of God, Mary Most Holy, the House of Gold. Here:
Deus, qui virginálem aulam beátæ Maríæ, in qua habitáres, elígere dignátus es: da, quǽsumus; ut, sua nos defensióne munitos, jucúndos fácias suæ intéresse festivitáti: Qui vivis et regnas, cum Deo Patre in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum."
Roughly translated by AI:
O God, Who chose the virginal dwelling of the blessed Mary to be Your abode, grant, we beseech You, that, defended by her protection, You may make us joyful to participate in her festival. Who lives and reigns with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
In other news, it's VJ Day and a friend went to the Cenotaph in London to mark it. Well done him, but he was one of a small handful to honor our forgotten army. Bad show, quondam Great Britain.
Best,
